Blackpool

Crown Fields, Westby, 22nd June 2012. Judge: Mrs C E Cartledge.

What an awful day. I really appreciated the sporting way the exhibitors accepted not just my decisions but also the conditions. It was crystal clear the Dandies did not approve of these appalling conditions. The look on their faces when they stood on the table said it all. Movement was quite obviously impossible to assess.

Veteran Dog/Bitch

1st: Morris's Hendell Tassel at Pennywave7 year mustard bitch, living the good life and carrying a little too much weight. Attractive head, appealing eyes saying 'I’m a Dandie, get me out of here'. Stripped coat, picking her way through the mud and not enjoying herself.

Puppy Dog

1st: Jacka-Slater's Pennywave Lone Ranger6½ month, good head and eye, has the beginnings of a proper coat, firm body, good bone. Tried hard to get moving but there was quite a bit of hopping. Happy showman. BP

2nd: Marshall & Skitt's Deegandan Dughall7 month, well grown puppy with large expressive eyes, pleasing head, in his underclothes, well bodied. Lively and bouncy but no coordination and who could blame him.

1st: Miller's Puddockswell Moon Shadow at DryfevalleyThe only one who made a vague attempt at moving with a bit of fluency. Attractive head, excellent coat texture, good body and rib, sympathetically handled.

2nd: Bromley's Mishahda Volcanic StormUp to size, masculine head, good bone. Tail carriage rather gay. Well bodied. Not very enthusiastic.

3rd: Sleight's Cassencarrie Bobby Vee at Bonnybeck

Res: Hansford's Cassencarrie Bonnie Lad

Open Dog

1st: Tinsley's Cloverwood Royal GeorgeMustard, broad skull, expressive eyes, great character and was all for playing his handler up. Coat in good order, held topline going round and looked well standing, good bone, better front than most, well proportioned. CC.

2nd: King's Ch. Vistca Vian of HendellMustard, really hated the conditions, his facial expression was full of disgust. Good bone, legs and feet, firm body, well conditioned and handled. Movement impossible to assess.

3rd: Morris's Cassencarrie Rumour Has It at Pennywave

Res: Denham's Ch. Scottsbairn Duke Of Ross

Puppy Bitch

1st: Brookes's Berdinbrook Tea Wynd11 month, very feminine puppy, came in dry footed but it didn’t last. Good coat and topline, well proportioned. Failed in movement and showmanship.

2nd: Smith's Glendandy Twinkle Star22 month mustard but too proud of her tail but today conditions were not normal. Feminine head, focused showgirl standing but not too happy about the wet cold mud when moving.

3rd: Miller's Puddockswell Truly Scrumptious at Dryfevalley

Res: Bromley's Cassencarrie Going Back to Mishahda

VHC: Hansford's Micklam Lemon Sherbet

Postgraduate Bitch

1st: Rasmussen's Dentgate Summer SunriseMustard, coped quite well with the ground. Pleasing head, large eyes, good body and bone, trotted up and down quite well. Handler could make a bit more of her when posed.

2nd: Kinsey-Morgan's Inzievar Gold EffectMustard, preferred eye and expression of 1. Good bone, body and coat, fair topline. Not great in hind movement but looked quite well once she got herself going.

3rd: Smith's Somercloud Starprize at Glendandy

Res: Heywood's Cloverwood Day By Day at Schalulleke

VHC: Booth's Cloverwood Candlelight at Lannia

Open Bitch

1st: Russell's Ch/Aus Ch. Jollygaze Hopeless Romantic for HawkesmillGood solid performer throughout, pepper, in good form, determined showgirl and never gave up standing there defying the elements and wagging her tail. Splendid coat, good topline and body, muscular neck, well domed forehand, good bone and feet. Did enough on the move to secure the CC & BOB.

2nd: Chapman-King & Hislop's Ch. Inzievar Royal SilverPepper, carrying just a shade too much weight. Good coat, typey bitch but not really in the mood to put her best foot forward and picking her way through the deep puddles.
